VOB to DVD trouble

Hey i have a folder with 3 VOB's

I want to burn these onto a dvd to watch, ive tried using imgburn to 'create image file from files/folders' & i then burn the image file to dvd but then the dvd doesnt play back the files, its done just like a data disc....

Ive also tried using DVD Shrink to open the VOB folders then reauthor but it doesnt like the files...

I really want to get these VOB's into an ISO format that i can burn to playback DVD's or to extract & get the VOBs back for editing in sony vegas


Im really stuck

I also have videoredo if that could help?

Thanks in advance for any help

If you just have vob files you must author it to a dvd-video. Try use dvdauthorgui or guifordvdauthor and add the vobs. Burn the video_ts folder using imgburn.

If you want to edit the video in vegas then try videoredo and open the vobs as save as mpg and import it in vegas(it might be enough to rename to mpg also).

The VOBs are fine in vegas (i have 5 which is okay for VOB's)

My main problem was i usually use DVDShrink for extracting & for converting to ISO

I save all my work as ISO's so i can either quickly burn that ISO for friends or extract form the ISO for more editing...

What im trying now is dragging the VOB's into videoredo & then creating a menuless dvd from there, hopefully i can then just save that ISO

When you say burn the video TS with imgburn, how?

If i goto 'write folders to disc' it just puts the videoTS folder on the dvd liek a data disc...

None of the above are working...

Im resorting to opening the VOB's in vegas & then rendering to mpg, then authoring with architect

VideoRedo has done the job for me, its good because it joins/combines the VOB's so when i reauthor i have one main title not 3 different ones...

Its also good because i can save as ISO to backup, burn DVD's & extract later to re-edit, or i can save as mpg then use that in DVD Architect to make a dvd but with better titles etc...VideoRedo also seems to be good for keeping quality...

Thanks for the help, if id only just used VideoRedo in the first place!

Maybe for freeware i could also have used VOBmerger to make one VOB, then convert that one VOB into an MPG wiith VOB to MPG, then author the MPG...

Theres still one file (2 VOB's) thats not working, tried VOBmerger, videoredo, the only way i can seem to get this one to work is put the files in vegas then render as mpg2, which takes forever
